Exactly it at times is also a good idea to have other software that can catch bugs as well. You don't run these in real time you run them or install them when you think you have a problem. For example spy bot search destroy will some times catch things that defender misses or mulware bites doesn't see either. On most of my boxes I have defender running in real time. it is resource lite does a good job and is free. Mulware bites is also on my boxes. It does a good job of catching stuff as described below. I also have spy bot search destroy and use it as I described above. Finely if I am sure that I have a bug I will install avg or avast and let them do there thing. Once I have solved the problem I either uninstall them or disable them. The rule of thumb here is never let more then one checker do real time checking at a time. understand that this can happen and will cause you problems if it does and make sure it doesn't. there is no reason though that you can't have more then one protection salution on your box if you want it.
This is not complicated!

No, that is not correct. MalwareBytes is designed to compliment a standard anti-virus program. It focuses primarily on the latest threats; adware, malware, spyware, trojans, rootkits, and web sites. And the free version does not run in real-time or update automatically. So it is doing nothing until you manually update it and manually run a scan. It is typically better at removing problems after they've infected your system than most anti-virus programs, which typically work best when things are trying to sneak in the back door. I've had the Pro version for years and ran it along with Eset Nod32 and now MSE with no problems.
